FAQs about fence companies in Chesapeake

How much does a fence cost in Chesapeake?

Most Chesapeake homeowners see wood (cedar) fencing start around $28 per linear foot installed, with chain link starting lower and composite or wrought iron costing more. That puts a typical 150-foot backyard project starting near $4,200 for wood. Your final price depends on height, terrain, gates, and material grade, so it pays to compare local quotes.

Do I need a permit to build a fence in Chesapeake?

Many cities require a permit for fences above a certain height, and Chesapeake may have its own height and setback rules for front and back yards. Check with the Chesapeake permitting office before you build — your installer can usually handle the paperwork for you.

How do I choose a fence company in Chesapeake?

Get at least three written quotes from Chesapeake installers and compare what each includes — post depth, concrete, hardware, and cleanup are where bids differ most. Check Google reviews and ask for proof of liability insurance and any license Virginia or the city requires. A company that answers questions clearly and puts its warranty in writing is usually the safer pick.

How long does fence installation take?

Most residential fences go up in one to three days once materials are on site. The longer wait is usually before the crew arrives — quotes, permits, and material lead times can add one to four weeks, so plan ahead if you have a deadline like a new pool or a puppy.

Are the companies on Fence Certified vetted?

We list established fence companies serving Chesapeake and show their real Google ratings and review counts so you can judge their track record at a glance. We are a directory, not a contractor, so we still recommend verifying licensing and insurance directly before signing. Featured placement never changes a company's rating.

Hiring a fence company in Chesapeake: what to know

Getting and comparing quotes

Get three quotes minimum, and make sure each one itemizes materials, post depth and concrete, gates, haul-away, and the timeline. In Chesapeake, the cheapest bid often skips something — usually shallower posts or thinner pickets — so compare line by line, not just the bottom number.

Licensing & insurance questions to ask

Ask every Chesapeake installer for a certificate of general liability insurance and, if they have employees, workers' comp — a legitimate company will send both without hesitation. Requirements vary across Virginia, so also ask whether the city requires a contractor registration and who is pulling any permit: you or them.

What affects your price

Beyond material choice, the big cost drivers are linear footage, fence height, the number of gates, and site conditions — slopes, rocky soil, tree roots, and tear-out of an old fence all add labor. Corner lots and long street-facing runs in Chesapeake can also trigger stricter height rules, which changes the design and the bid.

DIY vs hiring a pro

DIY can save roughly a third on a straightforward wood or chain-link run if you own the tools and can set posts plumb in concrete. Hire a pro for anything involving permits, property-line questions, slopes, or automated gates — mistakes there cost more to redo than the labor you saved, and a good Chesapeake installer warranties the work.
